What NOT to Wear on a First Date

Since we've talked about what to wear, now we're gonna talk about what not to wear! First dates are fun and exciting. They can also be extremely nerve wracking. Follow these fashion don'ts and your date will turn out just as fabulous as you look :)

1.) Fancy dresses. It's a date, not prom night. Unless you ARE going to prom or somewhere breath taking fancy, avoid these. Dresses can be perfect first date outfits, but if you show up in one that's completely over the top, he'll be thinking, what was she thinking?
2.) Stripper heels. What more can you say? Save those for the poles.
3.) Sweatpants or pajamas. After like 20 dates, feel free to wear these whenever he's around. But for your first impression, you want to make it one he'll remember. As for sweatpants... well sexy in bed, but not in public.
4.) Low cut shirts. If you're going to wear something low cut, I hope you plan on wearing something underneath! You want him to be staring at your gorgeous face, not your cleavage...
5.) Bangles. Cute, yes. Good for first dates? No. Bangles are like turning your arm into a tambourine. Every movement you make, clink clink clink. Unless he digs dating tambourines, then pass on these :)

June Loves

1.) Bath & Body Works new Coconut line. I love the smell of coconuts. But I'm not gonna lie, I DID like their Vanilla line last year better. Regardless, all three of these smell yummy. Coconut Passionfruit is my ultimate fav. I love just throwing one of the three into my bag and using it throughout the day. 

2.) Charming & Fun Body Spray from PINK. Yes, this was part of their Semi-Annual Sale! I think it was only $3? But don't quote me on that. If you're lucky enough to have picked it up, then you know this smells amazing. It doesn't smell fruity, but more country like? If that makes sense.

3.) Mac's eye shadow in Black Tied. I love using this as my crease color. It's pretty intense, so I use it with a light hand  but for those nights I want to smoke it up, you bet it's in my crease. 

4.) Best Love Song by T-pain. This is that song. That song I can listen to on repeat 500 times and never got sick of it. It's perfect for working out too. Hearing it just makes me want to get up and dance! My iPods probably sick of this song though. . .

5.) Chanel's In Love Blush. I've tried tracking down this baby at least 3 times. Everywhere I went it was sold out. So one day, I stopped at Macy's to get something from the MAC counter, and thought I'd check the Chanel counter, just in case. And BAM, they had it. It totally made my day. And I'm most certainly in love with this color :) It's been on my cheeks 24/7 since the day I bought it. 

6.) Hollister Dresses. I've always loved Hollister's dresses. I honestly think they come out with some of the cutest summer dresses every single year. Which is why they're in my favs ;)

7.) Gladiator sandals. I told you, I love me some Gladiators! I love dark brown ones because they go with almost every outfit imaginable. To me, they will never, ever go out of style...

8.) Victoria's Secret Glitter Eyeliners. Some of them are completely kickass, and some of them just plain suck. I suggest you try out the color before you bring it home. I really like the black & purple one though! They're perfect to add a little sparkle to my eyes. 

9.) The Falsies Black Drama. There's been tons of hype about this product, and many mixed feelings. I have to say, I'm with all the people who adore this mascara! It makes my lashes super long and volumized. Not to the point where it looks like I'm wearing false lashes, but better than any other mascara has done. And layering One by One over the top, puts my lashes over the top! 

10.) Glitter nail polishes. Yes, I'm a fan on them. I'm that kind of person who can't stay still while I'm letting my nails dry so they ALWAYS end up getting messed up. But putting a glitter polish over the top makes them look like nothing ever happened. And if i'm feeling extra dangerous that day, I'll put over an OPI Shatter or China Glaze Crackle. 

11.) My North Face. This is my baby. I cannot leave my house without this. It keeps me so warm and cozy. I've actually thought about buying one for my car, one for my house, and one for my bag because I'm that in love. But that'd be just a little crazy ;) 

How to Wear Plaid

1-Abercrombie & Fitch Plaid Shirt $37, American Eagle Shorts $40, Marc Jacobs Ring $58, Guess Sandals $19. 2-Abercrombie & Fitch Cardigan $60, Abercrombie & Fitch Shorts $30, Betsey Johnson Earrings $25, Piperlime Shoes $30. 3-Forever 21 $4.50, Burberry Scarf $335, Abercrombie & Fitch Shorts $35, Guess Necklace $28, Giuseppe Zanotti Cuff Bracelet $1,025, Miu Miu Flats $535. 4-Burberry Bag $1,470, Tibi Jacket $215. 

1.) Plaid shirts are always a classic and going with a bolder color during the summer makes it more fun! Wearing glitter hemmed shorts will definitely make you sparkle ;) A cute bright ring that matches your shirt is a great accessory to add and I'm in love with those heart Guess sandals! 

2.) Plaid shorts are harder to pull of then most plaid things. Wearing a longer cardigan over a plain tank will keep you comfy and cute. Sparkly sandals would look great with your look and adding little matching sparkly earrings would be the perfect final touch.

3.) Scarfs are always fashionable! Just wearing a plain slouchy tee underneath won't take away from the scarf and dark washed denim shorts with black flats always look great. Mixing in a silver necklace and cuff will really edge up your look! 

4.) If you want to show just a little plaid, then pairing your outfit with a plaid bag is the way to go! And on those cooler days, throwing on a fitted plaid jacket would show everybody how stylish you really are :)

“I don’t know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot." - Marilyn Monroe 

Girl's are destined to love heels. And every woman should own at least one pair in their life. Walking in heels can just make you feel fabulous. And just like every shoe, they come in a million different styles and patterns. Summer shopping is going on NOW. So to help you darlings out, I went on a quest to find some killer heels, that won't kill your bank account.

Take Me Somewhere Glamorous and Edgy - Outfit #4

Leifsdottir Dress $328, Stuart Wietzman Shoes $493, Juicy Couture Daydreamer $398, Viva La Juicy 1.7 oz $67, Essie's Pink Parka $8, Miss Sixty's Hat $28.

This outfit is just dying to be called glamorous. The combination of black and white together is so sophisticated, but adding hot pink accessories put it on a more girly level.

The lace tie-up heels are so edgy. They have a tough look to them, but are also sweet and feminine. Those alone can turn an innocent girl next door outfit to something ten times fiercer.

This white corset dress is form fitting which will hug your body in all the right places. The tightness and ruffling work together to create a flirty, sexy, but-not-too-sexy look.

Having hot fuchsia on your nails are great for summer! Neon will make this outfit less boring, and add some pzazz. Mixing up unique styles can really make your outfit more interesting!

How to Wear Floral Shorts

1-Delias Heart Tee $20, TopShop Shorts $70, Tory Burch Flip Flops $45. 2-N/A, Forever 21 Shorts $15, Dorothy Perkins Belt $9.66, Hollister Flip Flops $30. 3-H&M Top $13, Hollister Shorts $22, TopShop Sandals $50. 4-TopShop Crop Jacket $116, Aeropostale Shorts $13, Sperry Wedges $90.


1.) Wearing an over sized tee will look great with floral shorts. Don't be afraid to mix patterns. I dare you to be bold ;) Pairing simple flip flops with this outfit won't make it over the top crazy.

2.) Simple's sometimes better! Wearing a plain shirt or tank top will keep the look laid back. Tucking your top into your shorts and adding a cute belt will make it look like you spent way more time on putting your outfit together than you actually did. And braided leather flip flops with this look will keep you comfortable & cute!

3.) Lace tank tops are extremely feminine and pretty. With the floral shorts you'll have a totally girly outfit. Adding crochet white sandals will keep that vibe going without being too matchy matchy.

4.) If the weathers chiller than usual, throwing on a cute blazer over a plain tank will look fabulous. Ruffles on blazers turn them into a more pretty, flirty kind of piece. Striped wedges will complete the outfit dressing it up a little. The blazer will look better with these instead of laid-back kind of flip flops or shoes.

Now go rock those floral shorts ;)

Hello, Beach - Outfit #3

Roxy Bag $88, Walmart Bikini $16 for both top & bottom, Delia's cropped tee $20, Abercrombie & Fitch shorts $41, Marc by Marc Jacobs Bracelet $105, Marc by Marc Jacobs Ring $52, Ralph Lauren Sandals $248, Chanel Sunglasses N/A.


In case you haven't figured it out yet, but I have an insane obsession with the beach. It's freezing here in Chicago during the winter, so summer's my perfect excuse to visit my love, Lake Michigan. I guess you could call it a summer fling. And what's the beach without a bikini? So I always end up going on a man hunt trying to score the cutest swimsuits.

This pink heart patterned one charted the top three on my list. It's only $16 at Walmart for the whole thing! It would look amazing with a tan and some light washed jeans. With such a bright pink, all the cuties will notice you wearing this ;)

Crop tops are trendy this summer, and look great with shorts. I love flowy, loose fitted ones the best. They show some skin, without being overly sexy. They're also perfect for going to the beach. Easy to take on & off before hitting the water.

My favorite part about this outfit is the Marc by Marc Jacobs bracelet & ring. The red & pink together are so fun for summer and add the perfect pop of color to the top off the look. Colorful jewelry is always in for the summer!

Be That Girl - Outfit #1

Coach Poppy Nautical Bag $298, Juicy Couture Earrings $48, Juicy Couture Surf Board $950, Betsey Johnson Shoes $100, Abercrombie & Fitch Bikini Top $24, Guess Lace Top $27, Abercrombie & Fitch White Shorts $69

When I see this outfit I think fearless. It has so many different trends going on all at the same time; nautical, lace, and girly. But all of them combined make it so unexpected and interesting.

I love lace tank tops like the one above, they're effortlessly cute for summer. You can just throw on a bandeau or bikini top underneath, which makes them the perfect beach cover up.

White shorts will never go out of style. Abercrombie & Fitch still holds the number 1 one spot for my favorite place to buy them. They fit my body perfectly.

If you're really loving the whole nautical trend like me, then this Coach bag is the perfect way to show off your affection. But if you find a bag that's just as cute, with a smaller price tag, I'd totally go for it. Making big splurges for a trend that might only last one season, is a no no.
